‎We present a characterization of Arens regular semigroup algebras‎ ‎$ell^1(S)$‎, ‎for a large class of semigroups‎. ‎Mainly‎, ‎we show that‎ ‎if the set of idempotents of an inverse semigroup $S$ is finite‎, ‎then $ell^1(S)$ is Arens regular if and only if $S$ is finite‎.

Many important C∗-algebras, such as AF-algebras, Cuntz-Krieger algebras, graph algebras and foliation C∗-algebras, are the C∗-algebras of r-discrete groupoids. These C∗-algebras are often associated with inverse semigroups through the C∗-algebra of the inverse semigroup [HR90] or through a crossed product construction as in Kumjian’s localization [Kum84]. Nica [Nic94] connects groupoid C∗-algeb...

We describe the structure of 0-simple countably compact topological inverse semigroups and the structure of congruence-free countably compact topological inverse semigroups. We follow the terminology of [3, 4, 8]. In this paper all topological spaces are Hausdorff. If S is a semigroup then we denote the subset of idempotents of S by E(S). A topological space S that is algebraically a semigroup ...

A new construction of a free inverse semigroup was obtained by Poliakova and Schein in 2005. Based on their result, we find a Gröbner-Shirshov basis of a free inverse semigroup relative to the deg-lex order of words. In particular, we give the (unique and shortest) Gröbner-Shirshov normal forms in the classes of equivalent words of a free inverse semigroup together with the Gröbner-Shirshov alg...

let $s$ be an inverse semigroup and let $e$ be its subsemigroup of idempotents. in this paper we define the $n$-th module cohomology group of banach algebras and show that the first module cohomology group $hh^1_{ell^1(e)}(ell^1(s),ell^1(s)^{(n)})$ is zero, for every odd $ninmathbb{n}$. next, for a clifford semigroup $s$ we show that $hh^2_{ell^1(e)}(ell^1(s),ell^1(s)^{(n)})$ is a banach space,...

Quasi-ideals were introduced by Otto Steinfeld [43] as those non-empty subsets Q of a semigroup T satisfying QTD TQ c Q. When T is regular they are precisely the subsets Q of T which satisfy QTQ = Q ([43, Theorem 9.3]). There are many examples of quasi-ideals in regular semigroup theory. We list below some of the most important: • Every subsemigroup of the form eSe (where e is an idempotent) is...

Let $S$ be an inverse semigroup and let $E$ be its subsemigroup of idempotents. In this paper we define the $n$-th module cohomology group of Banach algebras and show that the first module cohomology group $HH^1_{ell^1(E)}(ell^1(S),ell^1(S)^{(n)})$ is zero, for every odd $ninmathbb{N}$. Next, for a Clifford semigroup $S$ we show that $HH^2_{ell^1(E)}(ell^1(S),ell^1(S)^{(n)})$ is a Banach sp...

Let K be a commutative ring with unit and S an inverse semigroup. We show that the semigroup algebra KS can be described as a convolution algebra of functions on the universal étale groupoid associated to S by Paterson. This result is a simultaneous generalization of the author’s earlier work on finite inverse semigroups and Paterson’s theorem for the universal C-algebra. It provides a convenie...

‎Let $S$ be an inverse semigroup with the set of idempotents $E$‎. We prove that the semigroup algebra $ell^{1}(S)$ is always‎ ‎$2n$-weakly module amenable as an $ell^{1}(E)$-module‎, ‎for any‎ ‎$nin mathbb{N}$‎, ‎where $E$ acts on $S$ trivially from the left‎ ‎and by multiplication from the right‎. ‎Our proof is based on a common fixed point property for semigroups‎.
